Typically, because the heavy nutrient cycling of tropical rain forests are so high, the top soil in these forests is very shallow- perhaps less than a meter. Once the forest is gone and the soil is used for farmland, it will never come back..... then the sun will beat down and further add to the stress of the land------ desert baby yeah.........
